Say, all is from you are in. Hello everyone this is Jim Simpson along with Tony Quebec

in Houston Tech and welcome to the 1968 All-Star Baseball game

brought to you by Chrysler Corporation, makers of Plymouth, Dodge Chrysler, Imperial, and Dodge

trucks.

Gillette Fomey, nobody makes a lather like Famy so moist so rich so creamy

B. F good rich the people who launched the radio age

and by R.J Reynolds makers of Winston, Salem, and Camel Cigarettes.

In 1966, they had a crowd for a game between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles doctors of 50,908 in this

8th one of the world, the Houston Astronome. Tonight they expect more than that.

Ten thousand standing-room only seats have been put on sale. And if it goes over that 50,000 standing room only seats have been put on sale.

And if it goes over that 50,908 mark,

will have the largest paid crowd ever

to see an indoor baseball game.

And speaking in the Astrodome in Houston, Texas,

value fans around the country and around the world,

listening on Armed Forces Radio, can be thankful

that this is a dome stadium.

We have at thunder showers and shower activity much of the day.

Hot, humid, muggy, and a lot of rain.

This game could have been called off, but it has not been.

And Tony Quebec, the game is going on.

We've got a dome.
